[Intro: Fast acoustic strumming, then bright electric guitars join in] [Verse 1] Keys in the ignition, map on the dash Got a pocket full of nothing and a little bit of cash I stared at that stoplight for way too long Waiting for a reason, waiting for a song [Pre-Chorus] I put the pedal down, rolled the window low There’s only one direction I can go [Chorus] I’m halfway to gone, leaving it behind Crossing over state lines, freeing up my mind Don't wait up for me, I won't be back by dawn Yeah, I’m already halfway to gone! [Verse 2] Every broken promise, every bitter fight Fading in the distance like a satellite The air out here is cleaner, the sky is wide and blue I’m finally cutting ties, finally cutting through [Pre-Chorus] I put the pedal down, rolled the window low There’s only one direction I can go [Chorus] I’m halfway to gone, leaving it behind Crossing over state lines, freeing up my mind Don't wait up for me, I won't be back by dawn Yeah, I’m already halfway to gone! [Guitar Solo - Upbeat, major key, energetic] [Bridge] No looking in the rearview, no second-guessing now I'm making my escape, breaking every vow! [Chorus] I’m halfway to gone, leaving it behind Crossing over state lines, freeing up my mind Don't wait up for me, I won't be back by dawn Yeah, I’m already halfway to gone! [Outro] Halfway to gone! (Driving on!) Halfway to gone! [Ending with a sustained bright chord]
